An Evening With Sips

I was thinking about my Evening With Sips series earlier today for a bunch of reasons, mainly that I'm trying to decide which game to do next. Having a jam-packed games list on Steam is something I never thought would be daunting, but somehow I have arrived at that situation and it's getting harder to choose which games to cover. I'm also finding it hard to get time to actually play some of the gifted titles I received over the holidays, talk about first world problems!

One thing that immediately sprung to mind when I started the series was that it could be a good proving ground for future Let's Play material. So far my Atom Zombie Smasher and LIMBO videos have been among my most popular (of the current 31 videos I have posted), and people are constantly asking me to do an Atom Zombie Smasher play-through. So you know what? I'm just going to do one. Screw it. I love that game, and I love having an excuse to play it as well.

I think that's a good idea. From now on, if An Evening With Sips video is really popular, I'll do a play-through. I need some way of showing people a gauge or something to see how close/far the game is to being made into a full play-through, I think that would be pretty neat. I don't want to run concurrent Let's Plays though, so it will have to be done once Orcs Must Die! is complete. That's another great game that I don't get sick of playing.

Anyways, that's enough rambling for now. I'm pretty pumped for Atom Zombie Smasher to be honest. I might even do a play-through with some of the wacky, game-changing options enabled. Who knows. Either way I'm hoping it'll be as fun to watch as it will be to play.

Here's a link to the "An Evening With Sips" playlist on my YouTube channel if any of you are unfamiliar. And as usual, hit me up on Twitter (@Sips_) or Facebook (Sips Yogscast) with any comments or to just double-check what type of milk I like best.

  2. Perhaps setting a goal for likes could function as the gauge you're looking for, of course it would have to be a relatively high goal within a reasonable time so you don't risk needing to turn every game into a full playthrough :P

  3. I have a feeling a lot of your "An Evening with Sips" episodes will do well. But the good thing is that they are released at a reasonable rate. You give the viewer enough time to 'soak' each episode in, and therefore, receive a good gauge of interest. Personally, I loved the LIMBO first look. Keep it up!

  6. What do you actually look like?
    I've seen all these drawings of you, but not the real thing. It's driving me mad.
